Abstract
A method of fabricating a low-resistivity polycrystalline silicon film deposited on a substrate comprises the steps of doping the polycrystalline silicon film with boron in situ while depositing the film, to a concentration greater than 1.times.10.sup.20 atoms/cm.sup.3, and then irradiating the film with a laser pulse. The present method may be utilized to fabricate a polycrystalline silicon film having a relatively small temperature coefficient of resistivity by electrically connecting a first irradiated part of the film with a second non-irradiated part in a manner allowing the two parts, having different temperature coefficients of resistivity, to compensate each other.
